VIDEO ABOUT A MOUNTAIN LION STALKING A HIKER IN UTAH

Dear Ones,

I came across a great video about a Mountain Lion (aka Cougar or Puma) stalking a male hiker in Utah. I have these thoughts on that …

The thing is the hiker sounds a little frightened. Of course, there is reason to be scared in a situation like this, but nevertheless it is very important to FEEL courageous and threatening, and to project these feelings towards the Mountain Lion. You know what I mean?

So first the feeling of confidence and courage – complete self-assurance. And second, this is a Mountain Lion that is used to preying on people. Don’t you sense it? This Mountain Lion is confident that people are tasty, and that it can accomplish this kill.

Try projecting a forceful mental image at the Mountain Lion with detail about you killing it (the opposite of the image it has in its mind about you). This is a psychological ploy that will give you time to get the pepper spray (aka Mace) out of your backpack.

Last, be sure to keep the pepper spray in the unzipped outside pocket of your backpack. Put it, head up, in the backpack pocket most easily accessible to your dominant hand (the one you would use to spray the Mountain Lion).

Here is the video …

HOW CAN WE CHANGE OUR EMOTIONS FROM NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE … OR FROM FEAR TO COURAGE … AT WILL?

You may be wondering how we can just change emotions, just like that. If we feel scared, how can we change our emotions to courage and self-confidence?

You know, the other Lightworkers and I are always talking about this.

I say, for instance, that a Lightworker must cultivate feelings of love, Light and joy. I say that in every post.

Other Lightworkers specialize in feelings of gratitude, or peaceful feelings, or other positive emotions.

This world is full of mischief. Yet we Lightworkers cultivate positive feelings. We do this all day long. For instance, something bad happens. We turn our minds to appreciation of some good thing that is happening in this very moment.

For instance, someone in a shop is having an argument with another person. That’s not so good. But rather than let this put a dent in our day, we might think: What a beautiful bright day this is. The Sun is shining. I have my Ascension Team all around me, protecting me. I have enough money to go into the shop and buy something i need to buy. There are lots of great people in here to see and interact with. Thank God for all these many wonderful things!

You see? We are confronted by one bad thing, but then we think about all the good things that we can be grateful for in this moment, right now. Then our mood changes from negative to positive.

As to courage, martial arts helped me to get from frightened to courageous. They might help you too, if you are so inclined. It is the same principle as the principle of feeling gratitude, except that one concentrate on changing fright to courage.

For instance, we change our stance … the way we are standing. We stand firmly on both feet. We shift our weight so that we feel balanced. We change our energy, which has just fled backwards behind us, and which is trying to hide from our adversary, to an energy that is centered in our tan den … the point of balance within the body. The tan den is the center of gravity an inch or so below the abdomen.

So we place our Awareness in the tan den. Immediately the Mountain Lion senses it has something to contend with. This is not the fleeing hiker. This is a stalwart adversary.

When that happens … when the Mountain Lion realizes this … its own energy moves backwards. You may see it in the Mountain Lion’s stance too. It may suddenly shift its weight backwards.

So the tables have been turned. You are in the ascendancy now. You can then seal the deal with pepper spray, and, as in the movie, the Mountain Lion will likely then run away.

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE MOB YOU

I get mobbed, generally speaking, a couple of times a week. Why is that?

There are those that say that I am writing about about love and Light and joy … and courage and appreciation … and so on … but that I am really not like that at all.

They say that I am just pretending to be good and kind and sweet and all … but that I am really the opposite.

They spend considerable time trying to frighten me with skits out in the street, or in the wild. This is what is called ‘mobbing’. It could be people are mobbing you too?

I figured some research on the topic might be a good idea, so I asked Google AI about it. Here is what Google AI said …

WHAT IS MOBBING?

Google AI says: “Mobbing is the act of systematically harassing or bullying a person, most commonly in the workplace, through actions like constant criticism, exclusion, and verbal abuse. The behavior is persistent and can lead to severe psychological and physical distress for the victim. Mobbing can also refer to a collective defensive behavior in the animal kingdom where a group of animals attacks or harasses a predator.

In the workplace

Definition:

A form of workplace bullying where a group, or an individual with followers, psychologically terrorizes another employee over an extended period.

Behaviors include:

Constant criticism, public humiliation, slander, isolation, or giving false information.

Motivation:

Perpetrators may act out of envy, a need to hide their own incompetence, or personal rivalry.

Impact:

It can cause significant mental and physical health problems for the victim and can lead to their expulsion from the workplace.

Counteracting mobbing:

Victims can try documenting incidents, talking to the perpetrators or a manager, and seeking support from colleagues. Organizations can help by establishing clear policies against mobbing and creating a culture of respect.

In animal behavior

Definition: An anti-predator behavior where a group of animals cooperates to attack or harass a predator.
Purpose: To drive away the threat to the group or individual members.
Benefit: It increases the survival chances of the individuals by reducing the risk posed by the predator to each individual member of the group.”

. . . . .

WHY DO PEOPLE MOB OTHER PEOPLE?

I asked Google AI: Why do people ‘mob’ other people?

Google AI said: “People ‘mob’ others due to a combination of factors, including a desire for power, social status, and a sense of belonging, as well as psychological phenomena like mob mentality and a diffusion of responsibility. Individuals may join in to feel part of a group, seek approval, or suppress their own moral compass for the sake of conformity. The behavior can also be driven by prejudice, low self-esteem, and a lack of empathy in individuals, or be encouraged by dark personality traits.

Psychological factors

Mob mentality: The group’s collective behavior can be contagious, causing individuals to act irrationally and lose their sense of personal responsibility, according to this YouTube video and Time Magazine.
Diffusion of responsibility: In a group, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as the responsibility is spread among the many members, notes this YouTube video.
Conformity: A strong desire to fit in and be accepted by the group can lead individuals to conform to the group’s behavior, even if it violates their personal values or goes against their own judgment, according to this WebMD article and this Quora thread.
Diffusion of responsibility: In a group setting, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as responsibility is diffused among the members, explain this Quora thread and this YouTube video.
Diffusion of responsibility: In a group setting, individuals may feel less accountable for their actions, as responsibility is diffused among the members, explain this Quora thread and this YouTube video.

Social and individual factors

Power and dominance: Mobbing can be a way to exert power and control over someone perceived as weaker or different, or to boost one’s social status, note this YouTube video and this Quora thread.
Low self-esteem: Some individuals bully to feel better about themselves or to take the focus off their own insecurities, says Healthdirect.
Prejudice and biases: Deep-seated prejudices and biases against a person’s race, religion, gender, or other characteristics can fuel negative behavior, as mentioned in this YouTube video and this Quora thread.
Lack of empathy: Some people may lack empathy and fail to recognize the harm their actions cause, while others may actively enjoy inflicting pain, notes this Quora thread.”

. . . . .

PERSONALITY OF A BULLY

I saw the word ‘bully’ above. Because I would like to know what I am dealing with when I encounter a bully, I asked Google AI about the personality of a bully.

Google AI said: “A bully’s personality is often characterized by a need for power and control, a lack of empathy, and aggressive tendencies. Bullies may also exhibit insecurity, egocentricity, and a tendency to manipulate or dominate others to feel superior. They often lack remorse for their actions and may resort to tactics like intimidation, coercion, and aggression, which can stem from feeling inadequate themselves.

Behavioral and emotional traits

Aggression and intimidation:

Bullies often use physical and verbal aggression to assert dominance over others.

Lack of empathy:

They have difficulty understanding or caring about the feelings of others and may lack guilt for their actions.

Need for power and control:

Bullying is a way for them to feel powerful, superior, and in control.

Insecurity:

Many bullies act out because of their own pain or low self-esteem, using bullying to make themselves feel better.

Cognitive and social traits

Egocentricity:

Bullies may see themselves as superior and need to be the center of attention.

Manipulation:

They can be charming when it benefits them but will lie, alter facts, or rewrite history to protect their image.

‘Us vs. them’ mentality:

Bullies often create a small inner circle and demand compliance, viewing anyone outside of it as a target.

Lack of responsibility:

They often refuse to take responsibility for their actions and may even claim they were bullied themselves when confronted.“

. . . . .

IS MOBBING COMMONPLACE?

I asked Google AI: What percent of workers, youths, and seniors in the United States are victims of mobbing?

Google AI said: “While specific statistics for “mobbing” are not readily available, general bullying prevalence can be used as a proxy: around 30% of workers experience workplace bullying, 19% of students ages 12–18 report being bullied at school, and about 10% of seniors experience elder abuse.”

Then I asked Google AI:Is mobbing commonplace?

Google AI said: “Yes, mobbing is considered a widespread and commonplace phenomenon, particularly in the workplace and academic settings. It involves a group of individuals ‘ganging up’ on a target with the intent to isolate, humiliate, and force them out.

Prevalence and Statistics

Workplace: Multiple studies and surveys indicate the high prevalence of workplace bullying, which often includes mobbing behavior. The Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) reported in a 2021 survey that 48.6 million Americans had directly experienced workplace bullying. Research suggests that up to 30% of workers are affected by workplace bullying over time.
Education: Mobbing has been identified as a common form of group bullying in schools and universities. Power imbalances and hierarchical structures in academia can create an environment where mobbing thrives.
General Consensus: Experts generally agree that workplace bullying is not a marginal phenomenon that can be ignored or trivialized. A survey for the UK’s Trades Union Congress found that 29% of people had been victims of workplace bullying.

Factors Contributing to Commonplace Mobbing

Poor Management: Mobbing is often a symptom of poorly managed environments where a lack of anti-bullying policies or ineffective reporting mechanisms allow the behavior to fester.
Organizational Stress: Periods of organizational change, such as leadership changes or cost-cutting, can increase insecurity among staff, leading to a ‘survival ground’ mentality where individuals scapegoat others.
Difficulty in Detection: The insidious nature of mobbing, which often involves subtle actions like gaslighting, rumor-spreading, and social exclusion, makes it difficult to detect and address, allowing it to continue for long periods.

The significant number of people affected globally suggests that mobbing, as a form of severe group bullying, is a common and serious issue in many professional and social environments.”

. . . . .

HOW TO REACT TO MOBBING

I asked Google AI how to react to mobbing.

Google AI said: “To react to mobbing, document everything, seek support from trusted colleagues or HR, and establish boundaries by speaking up assertively but calmly. If the behavior continues, consider making a formal complaint and, if necessary, explore options like legal action or finding a new job. It is crucial to prioritize your mental and physical health through self-care and support systems.

Immediate actions

Stay calm: Try to separate your emotions from the situation to prevent the mob from having power over you. Take deep breaths to allow your logical brain to take over.
Speak up assertively: Firmly and calmly state that the behavior is not okay. You can say things like, ‘I don’t appreciate being spoken to like that’, or ‘Please stop talking to me that way’.
Use the ‘buddy system’: If possible, try to stick with friends or allies, as bullies are less likely to target a group.
Walk away: If the confrontation escalates, remove yourself from the situation by walking away to avoid further conflict.

Documentation and reporting

Keep a detailed record: Document every incident, including dates, times, locations, people involved, and what happened. Save any relevant emails or messages.
Report the behavior:
- If you have a sympathetic supervisor, talk to them first.
- If not, go to Human Resources (HR) and report the behavior, providing your documented evidence.
- If you are a union member, contact your union for support and advice.
- Use anonymous reporting channels if available.
Know your rights: Research your company’s policies and local labor laws regarding mobbing and workplace bullying.

Long-term strategies

Seek psychological support: Consult a counselor or psychologist to help cope with the emotional toll of mobbing.
Build alliances: Find and connect with other sympathetic colleagues who may have witnessed the behavior.
Consider leaving: If the situation doesn’t improve after taking steps to address it, you may need to start looking for a new job to ensure your well-being.”

So it’s not just you and me, Dear Reader. Mobbing is taking place all around us. It is happening to everyone. So, I am guessing, is gaslighting. Do you know about gaslighting?

WHAT TO DO WHEN PEOPLE GASLIGHT YOU

I found out about gaslighting by viewing the 1944 American film “Gaslight” starring starring Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten and Angela Lansbury in her film debut.

Then there is the original 1940 British film Gaslight directed by Thorold Dickinson, with a close to identical plot.

The secret is out! Gaslighting is a well-known confidence game used by con artists worldwide to fleece women.

I figured this warranted some research too. Here is what I found out …

WHAT IS GASLIGHTING?

I asked Google AI: What is Gaslighting?

Google AI said: “Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person manipulates someone into questioning their own sanity, memory, and perception of reality. It is a tactic to gain control and power in a relationship by distorting the victim’s sense of reality and making them doubt themselves. This can lead to confusion, low self-esteem, and increased dependence on the abuser.

How gaslighting works

Denying facts: The gaslighter denies things that happened, even with evidence.
Lying: They tell outright falsehoods to confuse the victim’s sense of reality.
Blame-shifting: They twist situations to make the victim feel responsible for the gaslighter’s own actions or emotions.
Trivializing feelings: They dismiss the victim’s concerns as overreactions or being “too sensitive”.
Isolating the victim: They may try to isolate the victim from friends and family who could offer a different perspective.
Controlling information: They may lie to others or withhold information to maintain control.

Common gaslighting phrases

‘That never happened’.
‘You’re crazy’,
‘You’re overreacting’, or ‘You’re being too sensitive’.
‘I’m just trying to help’.
‘You’re remembering it wrong’, or ‘You’re so forgetful’.
‘It’s all in your head.’

The impact of gaslighting

Victims may constantly second-guess themselves and feel confused or crazy.
It can erode a person’s self-confidence and make them doubt their own judgment and sanity.
This increased self-doubt can make the victim more dependent on the abuser for their sense of reality.
The gaslighter’s goal is to gain and maintain control, making the victim more likely to stay in the abusive relationship.”

. . . . .

WHY DO PEOPLE GASLIGHT OTHER PEOPLE?

I asked Google AI: Why do people gaslight other people?

Google AI said:

“People gaslight others to gain control, avoid accountability, or to cope with psychological conditions like narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). By causing their victim to question their own reality, memory, and sanity, the gaslighter can manipulate them and become the sole source of ‘truth’ in the relationship.

Motivations for gaslighting

To gain control:

Gaslighting is a manipulative tactic to control a relationship by eroding the victim’s self-trust and making them dependent on the abuser.

To avoid accountability:

Gaslighters use it to shift blame for their own bad behavior, such as infidelity, and avoid taking responsibility.

As a response to psychological conditions:

People with certain conditions, like NPD, may gaslight to undermine others and enforce their own warped view of reality.

To manipulate the victim:

By making the victim question their own sanity, memories, or thoughts, the gaslighter can create confusion and make the victim feel emotionally unstable.”

. . . . .

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY OF A GASLIGHTER?

Because I would like to know what I am dealing with when I encounter a gaslighter, I asked Google AI what is the personality of a gaslighter.

Google AI said:

“A gaslighter is typically a manipulative individual who uses psychological abuse to gain power and control over others, making victims question their own memory, perception, and sanity. They often exhibit traits associated with personality disorders like Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) or Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Key Personality Traits and Characteristics

Need for Power and Control: The primary driver for a gaslighter is the desire to dominate and control their victim to feel powerful and superior.
Lack of Empathy: They show little remorse for the pain they cause and are generally unable or unwilling to relate to others’ feelings genuinely.
Frequent Lying and Distortion: Lying is a cornerstone of their behavior. They will consistently deny reality, even when presented with proof, and rewrite past events to their advantage.
Avoidance of Responsibility: They rarely admit flaws and will often blame the victim for their own wrongdoings or the gaslighter’s negative behavior.
Highly Defensive and Aggressive When Challenged: When called out or criticized, they often escalate the conflict, double down on their false accusations, or use anger and aggression to intimidate their opponent.
False Image Projection: They project an idealized, charming image to the outside world to hide their insecurities, making it difficult for others to believe the victim’s claims of abuse.
Isolation Tactics: They often try to isolate their victim from friends and family to remove external support systems and increase dependence on them.
Emotional Immaturity: They can be emotionally immature, engaging in wishful thinking, and having an “all-or-nothing” view of the world where any disagreement is an attack.
Unpredictable Behavior: Their actions can be inconsistent with their words, and they may have sudden mood swings, which keeps the victim off-balance and confused.
Using Compassion as a Weapon: When confronted, they may use kind words and declarations of love to smooth over the situation and confuse the victim, making them doubt their perceptions of abuse.”

. . . . .

WHAT IS THE PERSONALITY OF A CON ARTIST?

Since gaslighting is widely used by con artists, I asked Google AI what the personality of a con artist is.

Google AI said:

“A con artist personality is characterized by a high degree of perceptiveness, manipulative tendencies, and a chameleon-like ability to build trust by exploiting human desires and weaknesses. They are adept at deception and persuasion, often appearing friendly and personally invested in their victims to gain their confidence before exploiting them.

Key personality traits and tactics

Perceptive and observant:

Con artists are skilled at reading people, understanding their motivations, and identifying vulnerabilities to exploit.

Manipulative:

They use various psychological tactics to trick and bamboozle others, often by creating a sense of urgency or tapping into a person’s wishes and desires.

Charming and friendly:

They initially build rapport by appearing trustworthy, friendly, and personally interested in their target. This is often a calculated act to gain the victim’s confidence.

Persuasive:

They are masters of persuasion, using what works to gain a sale or a commitment from their victim.

Dishonest and deceitful:

They will lie, create false scenarios, and downplay risks to achieve their goals.

Exploitative:

Once they have a victim’s trust and money, their behavior changes drastically. They may disappear, stop answering questions, or become evasive.

Common tactics

Creating a sense of pressure:

They may create a sense of urgency to pressure a victim into acting quickly before they can think it through, says the Georgia Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division and the State of Michigan.

Preying on desires:

They identify what the victim wants (e.g., a big investment return) and create a narrative that plays on that desire, says a University at Buffalo article and Medium article.

Downplaying risks:

They often avoid giving details about the downsides or risks associated with their deal.

Evasion:

They are often unwilling or unable to answer questions thoroughly, a red flag that should raise suspicion, according to the North American Securities Administrators Association.”

. . . . .

WHAT ARE INFLUENCERS AND CHARACTER ASSASSINATION?

Since influencers and character assassination (to use modern parlance) are closely related to gaslighting, I asked Google Ai ‘what is influencer and character assassination’. I know this is poor English, but it got me the best response.

Google AI said:

“‘Influencer’ and ‘character assassination’ are two distinct concepts that can intersect, particularly in the context of social media and public life.

Influencer

An influencer is a person who has the power to influence the opinions or purchasing decisions of others because of their authority, knowledge, position, or relationship with their audience. They typically have a significant following on social media platforms (like Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube) and are often leveraged by brands for marketing and promotional campaigns. The core of an influencer’s identity is their public image and credibility, which they build to connect with their audience.

Character Assassination

Character assassination is a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation, credibility, or public image of an individual, group, or organization. This is typically done through a mix of open and covert methods to manipulate how others perceive the targeted person.

Common tactics include:

Spreading rumors, innuendos, or deliberate misinformation.
Raising false accusations or using misleading half-truths.
Manipulating facts or presenting information out of context to create an untrue, negative picture.
Exaggerating faults or past mistakes.
Name-calling and applying stigmatizing or demonizing labels.

The goal of character assassination is often to undermine the victim’s standing, influence, or career, and the damage can be long-lasting and difficult to reverse. It is a form of an ad hominem attack, shifting focus from a person’s arguments or actions to their personal attributes in an attempt to discredit them.

The Intersection

The two concepts intersect in the modern digital landscape:

Vulnerability of Influencers: Because an influencer’s success is tied directly to their public image and reputation, they are particularly vulnerable to character assassination. A successful smear campaign can result in a loss of followers, brand deals, and income.
Platform for Attacks: Social media platforms that influencers use to build their brand can also be used as a means for anonymous defamation, cyberbullying, and the rapid spread of character attacks.
High Stakes: In competitive fields, whether in entertainment, business, or politics, individuals with a high public profile (including influencers) may become targets of character assassination by rivals seeking an advantage or revenge.

In essence, an influencer is a public figure who can be a target of character assassination, a tactic used to destroy their standing and influence.”

. . . . .

IS GASLIGHTING COMMONPLACE?

Getting back on target: I asked Google AI what percent of people in the United States gaslight.

Google AI said:

“Workplace: A survey indicated that 50% of workers between 18 and 54 have experienced gaslighting.
Domestic violence: A survey by the National Domestic Violence Hotline found that 74% of female victims of domestic violence experienced gaslighting from their partner.
Medical settings: Medical gaslighting is a recognized issue, but statistics on the overall percentage of the population who experience it are not provided in the search results.”

Then I asked Google AI: Is gaslighting commonplace?

Google AI said: “Yes, gaslighting is commonplace and has become more recognized, leading to its use in various contexts like personal relationships, the workplace, and even broader societal issues. While it was once a term primarily discussed in abusive relationships, its application has expanded as awareness grew, with Google searches for ‘gaslighting’ increasing significantly since 2016. It is used to describe a subtle but manipulative form of psychological abuse in which a person is made to question their own sanity and perception of reality.

Where gaslighting occurs

Personal relationships: It is most common in intimate relationships, where it can be a core part of emotional abuse, undermining a person’s self-worth and creating dependency.
Workplace: Gaslighting is also used in the workplace as a form of subtle bullying to undermine employees and make them doubt their competence.
Social and systemic issues: Concepts like “racial gaslighting” also exist, where societal inequalities and prejudice are dismissed or denied.

Why it is now more common

Increased public awareness: The term gained significant public recognition, and in 2022, it was named Merriam-Webster’s word of the year.
Online content: The proliferation of online content, such as YouTube videos explaining gaslighting and how to identify it, has contributed to its widespread discussion.
Broader recognition: The term is now used to label a range of manipulative behaviors that were previously not as clearly defined, leading to its application in more diverse situations.”

. . . . .

HOW TO REACT TO GASLIGHTING

I asked Google AI how to react to gaslighting.

Google AI said: “To respond to gaslighting, stay calm and don’t engage in arguments; instead, calmly state your truth and set firm boundaries. You can use phrases like, ‘I remember things differently’, or ‘That’s not how I experienced that’. To protect yourself long-term, document incidents, seek support from friends or professionals, practice self-care, and consider limiting contact with the person.

In the moment

Stay calm and don’t argue:

Gaslighters want to provoke an emotional reaction. Staying calm and indifferent can help you avoid giving them power.

Keep it simple and repeat phrases:

Instead of getting drawn into a long argument, use short, firm statements like:

- ‘I remember things differently’.

- ‘That is not how I experienced that’.

- ‘I see things differently’.

- ‘I understand you disagree with me’.

Assert your reality:

You can use direct statements to show you are confident in your perception:

- ‘I know how I feel, and I’m not changing my opinion’.

- ‘My feelings are my feelings; this is how I feel’.

- ‘I do not imagine facts’.

Long-term strategies

Document everything:

Keep a journal of incidents to help you see a pattern and have evidence if needed.

Set clear boundaries:

Decide what behavior you will and will not accept, and enforce it. For example, ‘I cannot continue this conversation if you keep interrupting me’ or ‘We can talk when we are both calm’.

Seek support:

Talk to trusted friends, family, or a therapist who can validate your experience and offer support.

Prioritize self-care:

Engage in activities that build your self-confidence and promote your well-being.

Consider professional help:

If gaslighting is affecting your mental health, a therapist can provide coping strategies and support you in navigating the situation.”

SUMMARY

We have three topics here: Mountain Lion attacks, mobbing, and gaslighting. They have their similarities. In each instance, I feel I am being … or am about to be … viciously attacked.

Google’s suggestions about how deal with mobbing and gaslighting are good, I feel. My suggestions about dealing with Mountain Lion attacks are also good.

When you compare the two … Google’s suggestions and my own … there are some similarities. Confidence and courage are the key, are they not? We must be confident and courageous when confronted with viciousness, whether from humans or from wild predators.

Then as to the Lightworker credo, we must cultivate in our lives the positive virtues. We must turn to the Light. We must change Darkness to Light not just in theory, but moment-to-moment, in our daily lives.

We must learn the art of sudden alteration … whether of stance, or of physical balance, or of emotional balance, or of neutral mind.

We must be still in mind, body and spirit. Then we will be free to act in the face of the utmost adversity.

For Telepaths and Lightworkers: On Judging Others by the Amount of Turmoil Around Them

Sometimes we telepaths get round to the notion that other people must be right awful if they are encountering clouds of negative thought forms, or if they are surrounded by delusions of mass hysteria.

In the case of Lightworkers this is far from true.

The Darkness flees to us. It seeks to be transformed to the Light. We are the Light. But a great Wind of Darkness can cause us to be nonplussed, can it not?

I state … and other Lightworkers aver … that each human being has the right to ask our Ascension Team to set aside what Dark we are right now unable to transform. Our Ascension Teams can set the Dark aside, to be dealt with another day.

Even better, we can ask our Ascension team to optimize Timelines and Dimensions, so that the right amount of Darkness confronts our Light.

In that way we can retain physical form, as may be required by the Will of God right now.

When we see other Lightworkers confronted by the Dark … no matter in what arena … whether in personal relationships or in the workplace or in social groups … whether through mobbing or gaslighting or wild animal attacks … then the thing to do is not to change the LIghtworker.

I ask my fellow Lightworkers not to change me. As if I were deficient, or broken, or in need.

Instead, please feel the Light. That is all that may be required to make things just as God would have them.

God is Light. We are fashioned in His image. We are Light.

Let us see Light in one another. Let each Lightworker find the LIght in his or her fellow Lightworkers.

May this be true for all humankind.

God bless you all
And keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days!

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

ANOTHER VIDEO ON CARL JUNG’S THEORY OF INDIVIDUATION
USEFULNESS TO LIGHTWORKERS OF CARL JUNG’S CONCEPT OF INDIVIDUATION
CONCLUSION

INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Today I took a look at noted psychologist Carl Yung’s work on the theory of individuation with a notion of comparing it to my own work, and to my role as Lightworker, and to its possible helpfulness to those who hope to attain expanded Awareness for enjoyment of New Life on New Earth during this time of Ascension for Earth and all the beings under her care.

To be completely truthful I had not given Yung’s work more than a cursory glance priorly on the theory that deep study of traditional psychology might stifle my hope to channel useful innovations in the world’s understanding of the Mind … and of techniques to Master the Mind.

I had hoped to find a way to transform our Awareness that might easily be accomplished by all Lightworkers and by all those now involved in the process of Ascension. The outcome of this expectation of mine is my course on how to master the mind that begins here …

Link: “Mastering the Mind and the Human EMF: 0. Introduction and Content,” by Alice B. Clagett, written and published on 16 April 2016; revised on 12 February 2019 and on 18 June 2022 through 31 October 2022; revised on 20 August 2023 … https://wp.me/p2Rkym-56Y ..

Currently that course is free for all my Readers to read or view and to undertake as a part of their own lives.

Getting back to Carl Jung’s work … As you may know, Yung had a theory called ‘individuation’ that is part of the experience that I as a Lightworker have had. Sometimes people who have not yet started on the journey to individuation sense that individuated people are different and think of them as mentally ill. I feel they may do this because they feel the social norm to be mentally sound, and people outside the norm to be mentally unsound.

Carl Yung himself, along with psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, was, I feel, a person who had been through the process of individuation. Most people feel these two people to be leaders in their field, so Yung’s idea that individuation prepares a person for an exceptional role in the world … despite the fact that the process makes the person different from many other people … can be seen to hold some merit.

FIRST VIDEO ON CARL JUNG’S THEORIES ABOUT INDIVIDUATION

I found a video online a description of Carl Yung’s theories about individuation …

Video: “If You’ve Faced Any of These 8 Signs, You Have an Extremely Rare Personality | Carl Jung,” by Soul and Shadow, 27 July 2025 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7fy3dQlrQ0 ..

It is easy listening and, I feel, a good explanation of individuation. I like that the video is upbeat and inspiring. I note there are quite a few typos in the online text, but I feel this to be a relatively minor issue.

There is a more important issue with regard to Yung, I feel. As a Lightworker, I feel his theories are overly dependent on the left brain … on analytical and logical thinking. As well, there is too much emphasis on negative thoughts and emotions.

Lightworkers emphasize positive emotions such as love, Light, joy, appreciation, and gratitude. We don’t dwell on negative emotions.

Then as to brain function, we are whole brain thinkers, not left or right brain thinkers. What we think often has to do with channeling … bringing into our own minds, energy fields, and bodies information from higher sources … for instance, from beings on our Ascension team, or even from God Himself. We do this through our Awareness, and our willingness to ‘ask up’ … to ask the Unknown within and around us questions for which our personal experience and our own minds have no answers.

Those are some of the differences between Yung’s notions about individuation and the Lightworkers’ experience of expanded Awareness, of Awakening, of Ascending to New Life on New Earth.

In comparing my work with that of Jung, I see from the above-referenced video that he looked into the topics of …

Empathy (per Jung video, ‘psychic permeability’)
Psychic abilities and paranormal events (per Jung video, ‘psychic sensitivity’),
Neutral mind – stillness – witnessing – compassion (per Jung video, ‘heightened conscious reflection’),
Pariah – outcast – shunning (per Jung video, ‘social isolation’, ‘outcast status’
01 – 02 – 03 – SUBCONSCIOUS MIND – Lower Mental Body – Gut brain (per Jung video, ‘unconscious participation’),
Transformation – personal alchemy (per Jung video, ’emotional alchemists’),
Timeline jumping or surfing – multitiming (per Jung video, ‘temporal displacement’),
EMF sensitivity (per Jung video, ‘too sensitive’),
Cosmic mind … and … Buddhic or Christ consciousness … and … Soul evolution (per Jung video, ‘consciousness evolution’),
10 – Monad (Awareness – Eternal Now) (per Jung video, ‘self-awareness’) … and …
Transformation – personal alchemy (per Jung video, ‘personal transformation’)

ANOTHER VIDEO ON CARL JUNG’S THEORY OF INDIVIDUATION

Then there is another video about Carl Jung’s understanding of the individuation process ..

Video: “How To Become Whole (Carl Jung & The Individuation Process),” by Einzelgänger, 25 September 2019 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZCyUb0RIRc ..

From this video I see that Carl Jung defined individuation as absorption of the unconscious mind into the conscious mind, as do I.

For more on my own take on the topics in this video, see my blog categories …

001 – 006 – UNCONSCIOUS MIND …
Collective Unconscious – unconscious thought cloud of the world …
01 – 02 – 03 – SUBCONSCIOUS MIND – Lower Mental Body – Gut brain …
05 – 06 – 07 – CONSCIOUS MIND – Higher Mental Body …
Stories – myths – visions – legends …
Archetypal images and sounds …
Ego – higher self …
Mind … and … Mastery of mind (per second Jung video, ‘psyche’) …
Social mask (per second Jung video, ‘persona’) …
Soul wounding – Soul clearing – core star energy … and … Savage man – primitive man … and … Transcending the Dark – courage under fire – spiritual warfare – demon wars … and … Dark Attacks … and … Descent of the Dark (per second Jung video, somewhat similar to ‘shadow’)
Sacred Sexuality … and … Divine Feminine – Divine Mother – Mary Magdalene … and … Divine Masculine … and … Sexual repression … and … Crossdressing – transvestite – transgender (per second Jung video, somewhat similar to ‘anima’ and ‘animus’ … his terms ‘toxic masculinity’ and ‘toxic femininity’ also are relevant)

USEFULNESS TO LIGHTWORKERS OF CARL JUNG’S CONCEPT OF INDIVIDUATION

It is good to keep in mind that the esoteric lore is replete with references to individuation … which that lore sometimes terms ‘individualization’. In the esoteric lore, as I recall, individualization is felt to be a state of Awareness attained by human beings, as opposed to other animals. The rationale is, as I recall, that human beings have individual Souls and that other animals have group Souls.

I myself like Yung’s concept of individuation better, as I feel many human beings prior to Earth’s Ascension lived life somewhat unconsciously, rotely even, by adhering to social norms out of fear of appearing to feel different.

I like the above-reference videos for Lightworkers who are taking some heat from folks ‘out there in the world’ who feel they are ‘mentally ill’ or ‘mentally disturbed’. If the truth be told, some folks will verbally barbecue everyone they feel to be different from themselves.

When we experience this untutored and hurtful response to Ascension teaching we can bring up that it is a form of verbal abuse. I say this because the term ‘verbal abuse’ is PC these days, and might help end the roasting thoughts that are cast our way.

On the other hand, slinging back to an unschooled person the PC term ‘verbal abuse’ is, I feel a negative response.

For close friends, one might try: That hurt me. “Please don’t use that term again.”

For antisocials or narcissists, one might try: “Every time you speak like that to me, I will walk away and absent myself from your company for 30 minutes!” … I got this idea here …

Video: “Boundaries don’t WORK with Narcissists!” by Jimmy on Relationships, 18 May 2024 … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtfkWR_cDLg&list=LL&index=1 ..

For psychologists and psychiatrists … especially those hired by us … one need traipse about Carl Yung’s concept of individuation warily, as it is clear many psychologists and psychiatrists are not yet on the journey toward individuation.

What they have not experienced they may not be able to recognize in us. Consequently they may … through ignorance of the individuated quantum leap of Awareness … find themselves trapped in the notion that we have fallen into mental illness. As their notions about us carry some weight in the world, it is important to exercise due diligence in deciding whether to consult them, whom to consult, and how to interact with them.

For our fellow Lightworkers and for those on the Ascension track, one might use Carl Yung’s concept of the journey toward individuation as a first step in explaining Lightworker and Ascension lore. That is my intent in the current post.

CONCLUSION

In general, I feel we might use Jung’s understanding of the process of individuation to prepare those on the Ascension path for what they will be encountering during their Ascension process.

In love, light and joy

VIDEO BY ALICE

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

I have an astral story to tell you, but first I would like to reflect a little on the lot of the antisocial personality in the world.

The Lot of the Antisocial Personality in the World Today

What must it be like to be an antisocial personality in the world today? It is like being dropped down to a planet full of alien beings who do not speak your language at all. And it must seem to that person that God is absolutely merciless and pitiless, to leave them in the situation of what is sometimes called ‘stranger in a strange land’, but this in a context almost beyond belief.

It is no wonder that they assert, as a theme, that they are not responsible for what they do. That it is not their fault. That it is someone else’s fault. Because, in being dropped, as it were, out of the blue, into this strange social milieu that means nothing to them, they disremember all the Soul decisions they made in other incarnations, which led them into this situation. That is as I see it.

An Astral Story about Two Cannibals Who Blamed Each Other and Got Away Scot-Free

And now I would like to talk a little about an astral story I have been hearing, to do with two men who were antisocial personalities, and who met in the army, oddly, long years ago.

I have read that there are a small percentage of men who enlist in the army who are antisocial personalities … maybe one percent, which is a lot less than the percent found in the general population, apparently. It is not the army’s fault, but occasionally men who are antisocial personalities end up there.

These two men in the astral story enlisted at a very young age. Actually, they were too young to enlist, but they faked their ages, and they both enlisted, and found themselves in the same troop together.

One of the qualities of the antisocial personality is that they just do not know the rules. They never were socialized, and they do not know any rules about right and wrong. And they definitely do not believe any rules about right and wrong. They believe they can do whatever they want to do, as long as other people do not find out about it.

So these two young men both delighted in killing. And even worse than that, in cannibalism … a very ‘naughty’ thing in their minds, rather like a child thinks: Oh, that’s a bit naughty!

As it turned out, there was someone that ‘had the goods’ on them; it had to do with male homosexuality (MSM), which at that time was an alternate lifestyle that was disapproved by the army. As the astral story went, acting together they had raped that man. And they did not want the commanding officer to find out about it, so they killed the man they had raped.

This is a very far-fetched astral story, but it does point out the way that the antisocial personality’s mind works; very differently from the way that most people’s minds work. It’s important, at this moment, if you are working with antisocial personalities, not to experience horror at this moment, but to take it with an even temperament, an understanding that this is their life. This is how they live their life. This is just everyday living for antisocial personalities. I mention this because I found the astral story to be upsetting.

To continue: According to the astral story, the two men were working in a commissary, to do with food supply for the army. So they killed this man they had raped, they cut up the body parts, and they shipped them to another commissary.

Then the person in charge of their group found out about it, and blamed the one man. And the one man said that it was the other man, of these two friends, that did it. And the friend said: No, it was that man [his friend] that did it.

There was not enough evidence to convict either one of them. So they were dismissed, I guess, dishonorably, from the army, after about 6 months of service, according to the astral story.

How The Two Cannibals Planned Simultaneous Kills in Later Life, to Celebrate Their Bonding

This was a bonding experience for the two of them, although antisocial personalities do not really bond usually, according to my research. But down through the years, these two bonded. And the way that they celebrated the memory of that bonding was …

They were both telepathic, and though they were in different cities, they would make a plan together, to go hunting for a person to kill, at the same time (taking into consideration the difference in time zones). They would make a plan, far in advance, that at a certain time … say, at the time school let out … at 3 pm in the location of one of them … they would both go out, and seek out a child to rape and kill. As I recall, I became aware of such an astral plan in the year 2016.

There are various ramifications of this …

On the Loudness of Violent Thoughts on the Telepathic Plane. One such ramification is that, for those who are telepathic and who are appalled by this kind of thing (such as myself), who are empathic telepaths, this is very loud stuff on the psychic plane. These ideas of rape and murder and cannibalism: They are very loud emotionally. They are very strong emotions. And they stand out like freeway noise on the telepathic plane, in the noosphere.

So telepaths notice this stuff. And having this type of stuff happening simultaneously in two widely diverse geographic locations has the advantage of confusing the directional quality of the telepathy that is taking place. So the intention is to mislead other telepaths who have a conscience, and who are not antisocial personalities. And it works, I think, pretty well. It is pretty Soul-searing to hear this stuff, but it is hard for the empathic telepath to discern where the violence is taking place, because there the two antisocial personalities are, both doing the same thing together. It may be clearer to the clair gifted now that the MO (modus operandi) has been revealed.

On Bonding Among Antisocial Personalities. The second thing is that it reinforces the friendship of the two antisocial personalities, because there they are doing the same thing at the same time, almost like being together and doing it. This is almost like a step past the antisocial personality, which is concentrated on just one person, into a bonding situation where there are family members together, reinforcing each other’s beliefs.

Conclusion

So that is the astral story. I hope you are all right with it. I hope you are beginning to understand the way that the antisocial personality differs from the normal, socialized human being, and the way that they think.

In love, light and joy

Dear Ones,

VIDEO BY ALICE

Hello, Dear Ones, It’s Alice. I Am of the Stars.

This is a note about antisocial personalities and sociopaths.

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

Romantic Notions of the ‘Feral Child’: Tarzan of the Apes

In my youth, I read books and theories about what it would be like for a child to be, in its very young infancy, in the company of animals rather than people. The notion was called the ‘feral child’. There were books that had been written, romanticizing the notion of Tarzan of the Apes, and how he came to be more adept at English manners, and so forth.

These books are very off the target. In fact, there are quite a huge number of feral children … who either are small, or have grown up … in the world today. In these modern times, they are known as antisocial personalities.

Antisocial Personality Disorder: Statistics

For instance, I read today online, in a 2016 blog …

Link: “How Many Psychopaths and Sociopaths Are in the World or U.S.?” by Mike King, 6 September 2016, Quora … https://www.quora.com/How-many-psychopaths-and-sociopaths-are-in-the-world-or-U-S ..

… that the American Psychiatric Association feels there was about a 4% rate of antisocial personality disorder in the United States as of last year. And then there was another study by the National Institute of Mental Health in 1991 that stated that, since 15 years prior to that (which would have been the mid-1970s) the prevalence of antisocial personalities in the young people of America had doubled. So we are talking about a significant segment of the United States population, and no doubt, of the world’s population.

The Mind and Life of an Antisocial Personality (ASP)

You and I, we’re likely to run into one in the supermarket, I guess. And what these children are, are human beings in form and appearance, who have never learned the ways of civilized man.

Instead, the guiding lights for their lives are the feral drives. And so, what they see in other people are also these feral drives. They use their understanding of the feral drives, which are buried, in most people, under a veneer of civilized behavior and adherence to societal expectations; they use other people’s feral drives to manipulate them.

If possible, they form packs … wild packs, like wolf packs, in which they are the leaders. As did Charles Manson for instance, and Daniel Perez (aka Lou Castro), the Kansas killing cult leader, who was arrested and brought to justice.

There are many other instances like that, of people who keep a minimum contact with people in everyday life, especially during the daytime, because the veneer of civilization that they carry as a mask is very thin.

And so, they are likely to come out at night and live as a recluse most of the time. When unfettered by other people’s expectations, their behavior will be completely feral.

. . . . .

Antisocial personalities study and copy each other’s social masks. You might see an ASP switching personae completely from time to time as he decides to mimic the mask of a different ASP he has studied.

Here is a photo of Daniel Perez (aka Lou Castro), the Kansas killing cult leader … http://www.kansas.com/news/local/crime/tpgn99/picture10595009/ALTERNATES/FREE_640/perez.JPG ..

Note the following details, which might, if the stories brought forth about him are true, indicate a cleverly put-together social mask …

The hair: a little on the long side, a little forgetful of close clip detail, says: I am not a cunning guy.
The bangs, artlessly falling across the brow, say: I’m a little boy. I need someone to help me comb my hair. Be a mom to me.
The slightly furrowed brow: Quizzical expression. This says: I’m not totally sure of what’s going on here. I’m confused. I’m sure we can work it out together, though.
The eyes are without light. They say: I’m an average Joe, not so very bright. Like you.
The mouth, slightly downturned, says: I’m going through a rough patch right now. It’s kind of a nuisance, but not a serious inconvenience. I’m a little pained that you guys are putting me through all this.
The shoulders and chest have the lightest touch of muscular tension; almost imperceptible. These reinforce the message of the slightly downturned mouth.
The heart energy, intuitively speaking: Very still, very slow heartbeat. This says: I’m not afraid. I’m innocent. I’m a shy guy, not given to grandstanding.

It could be that the social mask of Charles Manson is not a favorite of ASPS who are at liberty, due to the fact Manson got caught.

I surmise it could also be that an ASP would be inclined to emulate the mannerisms of the cannibal Hannibal Lecter, who, though only a fictional character, is viewed and admired. Thus the thought of imitating him might have iconoclastic appeal.

The Truth about ‘Feral Children’

As far as I know, at this point, unless there is a DNA change, ASPs cannot be socialized. Not yet.

So the truth of the feral child is not romantic at all. It is the antisocial personality.

Lots of times it plays out as drug dealing and prostitution; risk taking behaviors (I read about this in Wikipedia);
and also serial killing and possibly mass murders;
also nymphomania (in women) and in men, satyriasis (that Don Juan complex) where the feral drive to sexuality is very pronounced because there is no nay-saying … there is no thought of holding off until the appropriate time. And so, there is a constant desire for sexual intercourse.

On Eluding the Sociopath

I think the things to look out for, are manipulation of one’s own feral drives by someone else …

Link: “How to Spot a Sociopath,” co-authored by Paul Chernyak, LPC, 23 January 2020, in WikiHow … http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Sociopath ..

Link: “How to Spot — and Handle — a Sociopath,” by Lisa Wolcott, MSW, LCSW, CGP, 2 March 2014 … http://www.lisawolcott.com/how-to-spot-and-handle-a-sociopath/ ..

In other words …

We have to be aware of our feral drives, and what they are doing and what they are saying,
and also accept them,
and train them into a more productive way of doing things.
We can also sublimate them so that we can pursue higher consciousness and so forth.

So those are our ways of escaping what may be a very large subset of sociopathic people in the world today.

The ASP: Psychological/Psychiatric Labels

The psychological-psychiatric community has been slowly shifting its terminology from ‘psychopath’ to ‘sociopath’ to ‘antisocial person’ to ‘antisocial personality syndrome’. Now by ‘antisocial personality’ is not meant shyness. (This I get from my voluminous reading.) It is not extreme shyness (which is now termed ‘Social Anxiety Disorder’); although the behavior of an antisocial personality can mimic that of an extremely shy person.

This is because they are hiding out from people so that no one will find out that they are feral. They are hiding during the daytime (when most people are out and about), or living in a place that is remote from people. And their interactions with people take place when there are very few people around. Or when the situation is controlled, as I have mentioned in prior blogs, through mind control.

Like Many Animals, ASPs Are Adept at Mind Control

They are very adept at what we call ‘mind control’ because they are very in touch with the feral drives. This is gut brain mind control, and generally not the mental suggestion, ‘entrainment’, and ‘lock down’ (with terror) used by those who use negatively aspected telepathy from the throat chakra or brain (although they may secondarily use that as well).

And the feral drives, in our unconscious and subconscious minds … because we have been socialized … are beneath our notice.

But right out there, in front of them, are our feral drives that they can manipulate through their telepathy. On the astral plane, I have never yet known a sociopath that is not (like many nonhuman mammals, both wild and domesticated) extremely adept at telepathy (5) and mind control.

They, for their part, feel that we socialized humans are weak, deluded and blinded by our early upbringing, and that we, like lambs, go silently and greatly deservedly, to slaughter by their hand.

Empaths Targeted by Sociopaths: The Socio-Empath-Apath Triad

Link: “Empathic People Are Natural Targets for Sociopaths – Protect Yourself,” by Dr. Jane and Tim McGregor, “Addiction Today,” 30 October 2013 … https://www.sott.net/article/268449-Empathic-people-are-natural-targets-for-sociopaths-protect-yourself …

In the above article, note especially the interactions involved in the “Socio-Empath-Apath Triad.” (a type of folie à trois). What if three people were in a company and …

the sociopath was a CEO,
the empath was an honest employee, and
the apath (‘yes’ man or woman) was the company’s omsbudsman? …

Or what if, in a natal family with a mom, a dad, and a child …

one of the three was a sociopath,
one was an empath, and
one was an apath? …

This reminds me a little of the Karpman Drama Triangle (also known as the Dreaded Drama Triangle or the Perverse Triangle (persecuter – rescuer – victim) … which contrasts to the Empowerment Dynamic (challenger – coach – creator) … http://bertparlee.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/david-emeradls-ted-460×460.png ..

See also … Link: “1 in 5 CEOs are Psychopaths, Study Finds,” by Jonathan Pearlman, Sydney, 13 September 2016 … http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/09/13/1-in-5-ceos-are-psychopaths-australian-study-finds/ ..

Conclusion

So these are the things that we have to look out for. The people in our Ascension community call these people Controllers. But the truth of the matter is that they are lacking something. I believe it has something to do with genetics, and a twist or torque in the etheric net. It is my very great hope that there will be a solution to this difficulty, so that they can join the flow of the Hu … of humankind … in years to come.

You all, keep a good eye out for that! And, everyone, be safe!

And, for everyone who is a sociopath, or feral child, or feral grown-up: You be safe too! I think there will be a path for you.

In love, light and joy
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars … and so are you!

ON EMF HYPERSENSITIVITY

Dear Ones,

For those not in the know, this blog is not about me; I researched the topic to do with what intuition told me might be a ‘Controller’ who was the head of a ‘killing cult’. I had left the group, and felt at the time (some time ago) that I was in danger of being murdered by members of the group at his behest, and because of his anger towards me at leaving the group as soon as I got a whiff of what was going on there.

I hear the most unusual astral stories …

THE PROPHET ELIJAH ASTRAL STORY

Recently I have heard a lot about a man who apparently fits the ‘serial killer’ profile. He apparently told his followers he is the Prophet Elijah … I see by Wikipedia this fits the Wikipedia serial killer profile. The below description reminds me of what country folks used to call, with a certain relish, ‘delusions of grandeur’ when I was growing up …

“Visionary serial killers suffer from psychotic breaks with reality, sometimes believing they are another person or are compelled to murder by entities such as the Devil or God. The two most common subgroups are ‘demon mandated’ and ‘God mandated.'” –from Link: “Serial Killer,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer#Mission-oriented … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

I looked up the Prophet Elijah and found out that, according to the Jewish faith, the prophet Elijah is considered to be present at the circumcision ceremony of each Jewish child. –adapted from Link: “Why Is Elijah the Prophet Invited to the Seder?” by Naftali Silberberg … https://www.chabad.org/holidays/passover/pesach_cdo/aid/504495/jewish/Why-Is-Elijah-the-Prophet-Invited-to-the-Seder.htm ..

I keep hearing on the astral plane that this person enjoys raping and sexually mutilating folks. I understand the serial killer or antisocial sense of humor here, but I find it highly confrontational. He thinks it is funny because his followers love him for being the Prophet Elijah (of course, not true) … and because he loves to rape and mutilate people. Funny? Not!

It appears that, in casual conversation, one of his followers has explained to the powers that be (whoever and wherever they are … and who knows the specifics about astral stories? No one, I am guessing!) that he only goes after gay men. How interesting! Here is what Wikipedia says about this …

“Mission-oriented killers typically justify their acts as ‘ridding the world’ of a certain type of person perceived as undesirable, such as homosexuals, prostitutes, or people of different ethnicity or religion; however, they are generally not psychotic. For example, the Zebra killers in the San Francisco Bay Area specifically targeted Caucasians. Some see themselves as attempting to change society, often to cure a societal ill.” –from Link: “Serial Killer,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer#Mission-oriented … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

SERIAL KILLER MOTIVES

Wikipedia (see above link) offers these motives for serial killers (the first two I have just discussed): Visionary, Mission-oriented, Hedonistic, Lust, Thrill, Comfort, Power/Control, Media …This article is a pretty good read, about people whose motives must be carefully studied in order to understand what they say to their followers, and why they say it.

What I hear on the astral plane about the followers is funny, and at the same time heart-rending. The typical conversation, which is repeated over and over from time to time, goes like this:

Follower: You don’t kill people, do you?
He: I do kill from time to time.
Follower: Oh my God, No!
He, chuckling: I didn’t really mean it … or … How could you think that of me!

To which I say: Chucky movies, déjà vu! The ironic thing is, I could never bring myself to watch these sorts of movies. Never got through “Silence of the Lamb” either… Just too scary.

What is the disconnect here? The disconnect is that his followers have not studied how very differently motivated serial killers are, and so they cannot conceive that such motives exist. These motives are just not in their universe.

Further, I find that serial killers, at least on the astral plane, have mind-boggling mind control abilities. It reminds me of the theory that some ‘people’ on Earth today are really not people. For more on this, see my blog category: Unusual beings on Earth

For instance, the ‘Prophet Elijah’ man, I hear on the astral plane, believes he is from an off-planet species of beings, that he pirated his way onto Earth, took over the body of a young (was it 6-year-old?) human boy, ate his Soul (?!), and knew from a very young age that God would allow him to do anything he wanted to do on Earth. Earth rules were not for him. Killing was fun, and so it was A ok. Go figure!

As to the mind-control aspect of serial killers, and his cult-like followers that I heard about on the astral plane … if true, then this would substantiate the stories I have read about how anti-social personalities, at an early age recognize that they are different from their peers, dramatically and life-threateningly different, and that their own way of perceiving reality and acting upon their perceptions will get them into trouble time and time again.

And so, I have read, they carefully study the motives of ordinary people (i.e., patsies, rubes, fall guys, pigeons) and fine hone the art of manipulation. The typical manipulation I have observed on the astral plane has to do with the emotions and values of ordinary people … emotions and values that the serial killer considers to be ‘weak’ and which he does not possess. For example, sympathy, empathy, love, respect for others, loyalty, honesty, hard work, teamwork, protecting children and women … the sorts of emotions and values that make social life possible.

There are some pretty good theories about serial killers that I like for their down-to-Earth qualities. These have to do with early childhood abuse, failure to bond with their mother, socialization issues at school, and so on. This I could grok. I also have a thought that certain genes, certain alleles, may be at issue, and that gene therapy may offer a more optimistic prognosis in future.

Some of the followers of this serial killer personality (who is this guy?) appear to be what Wikipedia defines as ‘ASPs’ (antisocial personalities). I can see the ‘draw’, as both types of personality tend to ‘run sideways of the law’ …

THE ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY (ASP): GAMBLERS, PROSTITUTES, AND DOPE PEDDLERS

I see quite a bit has changed in the Wikipedia explanation of the ASP. I found the below description interesting because the loudest people on the astral plane in recent months have been risk-takers, prostitutes and dope peddlers …

“The DSM-II in 1968 rearranged the categories and ‘antisocial personality’ was now listed as one of ten personality disorders but still described similarly, to be applied to individuals who are: ‘basically unsocialized’, in repeated conflicts with society, incapable of significant loyalty, selfish, irresponsible, unable to feel guilt or learn from prior experiences, and who tend to blame others and rationalize. The manual preface contains ‘special instructions’ including ‘Antisocial personality should always be specified as mild, moderate, or severe.’ The DSM-II warned that a history of legal or social offenses was not by itself enough to justify the diagnosis, and that a ‘group delinquent reaction’ of childhood or adolescence or ‘social maladjustment without manifest psychiatric disorder’ should be ruled out first. The dyssocial personality type was relegated in the DSM-II to ‘dyssocial behavior’ for individuals who are predatory and follow more or less criminal pursuits, such as racketeers, dishonest gamblers, prostitutes, and dope peddlers.” –from Link: “Antisocial Personality Disorder,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

ASPs: NOMADIC, MALEVOLENT, COVETOUS, RISK-TAKING, REPUTATION-DEFENDING

Here is a little more from the same source that I found interesting, because familiarity with these energy threads will help me identify and exit from astral stories generated by ASPs …

“Theodore Millon suggested five subtypes of ASPD:

“Subtype	Features
“Nomadic (including schizoid and avoidant features)	Feels jinxed, ill-fated, doomed, and cast aside; peripheral, drifters; gypsy-like roamers, vagrants; dropouts and misfits; itinerant vagabonds, tramps, wanderers; impulsively not benign.
“Malevolent (including sadistic and paranoid features)	Belligerent, mordant, rancorous, vicious, malignant, brutal, resentful; anticipates betrayal and punishment; desires revenge; truculent, callous, fearless; guiltless.
“Covetous (variant of “pure” pattern)	Feels intentionally denied and deprived; rapacious, begrudging, discontentedly yearning; envious, seeks retribution, and avariciously greedy; pleasure more in taking than in having.
“Risk-taking (including histrionic features)	Dauntless, venturesome, intrepid, bold, audacious, daring; reckless, foolhardy, impulsive, heedless; unbalanced by hazard; pursues perilous ventures.
“Reputation-defending (including narcissistic features)	Needs to be known as infallible, unbreakable, invincible, indomitable, formidable, inviolable; intransigent when status is questioned; over-reactive to slights.”

–from Link: “Antisocial Personality Disorder,” in English Wikipedia … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder … CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

MY SOUL LESSON REGARDING GRUESOME ASTRAL STORIES

So, the question asked of me in recent days on the astral plane (and a question that I seriously ask of myself) is: Why are you hearing these kinds of astral stories, anyway? Are not we humankind co-creating New Earth together?

Yes, we are!

Well then, why am I hearing these … well … pretty gruesome stories? The answer, I think, is that I find them horrifying; I have a reaction to them … which I have just recently pegged to fluctuations in my heart electromagnetic field (EMF).

And so, my conclusion, in support of my desire to hold a neutral mind, is to carefully observe my heart EMF fluctuations, as the astral stories arise. If I concentrate on keeping my EMF steady … this being my avenue to neutral mind, because of my unusual sensitivity to EMF … why then I will not react to the astral stories. Lack of reaction will move me from the causal plane to the fifth dimension, and that will eliminate these energies from my field of astral awareness. So, that is my plan of action right now.

I wish you all Godspeed in rising above and/or transforming all dense, misqualified energies.

In love, light and joy

ON EMF HYPERSENSITIVITY

Work has been done on EMF sensitivity, which is a good thing (see below references). My concern is that it is often considered an illness … a drawback … rather than one of the new skills of New Earth. By my lights, EMF sensitivity is a Divine gift of grace. Like all the new gifts, it needs acceptance, exploration, and the attitude that it can be used in service to humankind.
